My Time at Shepherd

The day I left Macon Medical Center I was so excited. I hated being at Macon Medical Center. They made me use a potty chair thing. I hated that thing. The Food was good though.  My first day at Shepherd was new and exciting. I really liked how nice and new everything was there.  They had  me on night time feeding with my feeding tube.  I still had the feeding tube in me when I went to Shepherd.  They took the Trach out when I left Macon Medical Center.  So I could breath on my own when I was at Shepherd.  I had Physical therapy, Speech therapy, and Occupational therapy. I liked all my therapist. They were all very nice and helpful.  My Speech therapy was my favorite. But I really liked all my therapist.  I had Therapeutic Recreation also.  I went Bowling one day with a bunch of the other Brain Injury patients.  I also got to start playing the Piano again.  I had started playing the Piano right before the accident but I got to play a lot in my TR.  I was woken up at 5:30 every morning.  They woke me up at 5:30 in the morning to take my Vital signs.  Then I had to take a shower and get dressed at 6 in the morning.  The Nurse had to sit in the bathroom while I took a shower.  I did not like that at first but I got used to it.  Now Nudity is no problem when I go to the Doctor.  I got used to it while I was in the Hospital.  The food was really good. I really like the chicken Fingers.  I did not mind going to all the therapies while I was in the Hospital.  It felt like being at Summer camp while I was at Shepherd.  I really liked being at Shepherd.  It was a great place and still is.  I would recommend Shepherd to anyone.  I loved it when I could finally go home.  I got to go see my cats one Saturday at Shepherd.  I had missed them so much.  I missed them all so much.  When I could finally go home I was so happy.  I loved being able to sleep in my own bed and just being home in general.
